Greetings,

I am just starting to get into woodworking (bought a Delta Table saw) and in the process of purchasing a router. I am planning on building a Captain's bed for my 2 year old son

I was planning on mounting my new router into a table (probably the oak-park model).

Getting to the point:

If price was NOT an issue, which of the above two routers would you recommend and why?

If you include price as a fator, which would you recommend and why? My local tool store has a Dewalt 616 and a 50 bit router set on sale for $100. They also have the Porter Cable 690 on sale for $150.

Thank you for any and all input.

Gunter
